Install a CDI Shunt SensorInstall a CDI Shunt Sensor
The heparin-coated, sterile CDI Shunt Sensors, Model CDI510H, are intended for
placement into shunt lines, purge lines, sampling lines, Shunt Bypass Lines or any
similar line that has constant blood ow.
Warning
The CDI Shunt Sensor is supplied sterile. Aseptic technique must
be used when inserting it into the extracorporeal circuit to ensure
that the blood-contacting surfaces remain sterile.
Avoid touching the optical surfaces of the BPM and Shunt
Sensor(s). Fingerprints on these surfaces can reduce the accuracy
of the system.
Caution
Place the CDI Shunt Sensor distal to a purge line one-way valve
to avoid possible back-ow of air.
Connecting the unsupported CDI Shunt Sensor directly to another
rigid plastic piece may make the unsupported piece or the CDI
Shunt Sensor susceptible to breakage.
When connecting the CDI Shunt Sensor to another rigid plastic
piece such as a manifold, either provide extra support for the
Shunt Sensor, or use a length of pliable tubing to connect to a
bracket-supported Shunt Sensor.
Note: The CDI Shunt Sensor can be placed in the shunt/purge line at any time during
priming or bypass if there is uid in the circuit. The ow of uid must be stopped prior
to inserting the sensor to avoid loss of uid.
Note: The sensor is bidirectional. Blood can ow through it in either direction.
Note: When placing the CDI Shunt Sensor in a sampling line, place it on the inlet side
of the sample port to avoid intermittent interruption of blood parameter data during
medication administration.
Note: The end of the CDI Shunt Sensor that has the large blue Luer cap is known as
a male Luer connector. The end of the CDI Shunt Sensor attached to the lter/sparger
assembly is a female Luer connector.
